Why the Wii 2’s rumoured touchscreen controller makes perfect sense

Chris Kohler of Wired.com has written a wonderful editorial on why it makes perfect sense for Nintendo’s next home console to have a touchscreen controller. It touches on Nintendo’s past attempts to add extra screens beyond the TV to the living room, and presents several likely reasons for why the Wii’s wireless connectivity to the DS ended up being woefully underutilized.

I’d summarize the piece for you, but to do so would be a disservice to Chris’s work, so I’ll leave you with a link to his original article. It’s a great read, particularly if your head is spinning with the numerous stories that have been coming out over the past few days, as the writing takes its time and doesn’t rush ahead. By all means, do check it out.
